But the server stability has been awful!

On Saturday night my guild assembled a full 25-man raid, all ready to kick some booty in Mount Hyjal. And we couldn’t zone in. “Transfer Aborted: Instance not found”. So we dispatched scouts all over Azeroth, to see if we could get in to any instance. No luck. Eventually someone zoned into BRS, and 10 of us headed off to get our “Leeeeeerrooooyy” title.

Sunday I put the baby down for her nap, and decided to reward myself with a little WoW time. Got a group together for the Headless Horseman, and headed over to SM. Zoned in and….. nothing….. I was stuck in limbo. 30 minutes of that, and then the server came down. And remained down all night

Last night the server was back, but instances were still unreliable. I didn’t try for the HH, but a guild group did, and although they got there eventually, there was 30 minutes of characters getting stuck trying to zone in beforehand.

Hope everything goes well for our SSC raid tonight. Crossing my branches!

As the raid faced Solarion, our Internet connection died. Well and truly.

We are so dependent on our Internet that we actually have two phone lines, each with an ADSL connection. We switched the router over to the second line, the performance was just as bad. We therefore deduced it was a problem with our ISP.

It took about an hour for things to return, by which time we were sure the raid would have replaced us or pressed on without us, so my husband took the time to play some XBox, and I caught up with some of my TV viewing.

Things seem OK today, so I hope everything holds out for our raid this evening. The guild is again trying to muster a 25-man force.
